Would switching out the stock tube in the Bellari make that much of a difference?

It wouldn't do zilch for a couple of reasons:

1. You could go the other way with lower gain 5751s but I'm not aware of higher gain equivalents since a 12AX7 is pretty much at the top of the chart.
2. Understand the single dual triode is there more for show as a simple buffer. All the heavy lifting is done by two op amps per channel.

You really need a high output cartridge to run it solo.
